The Swan Scheme
The Swan Scheme is a community care organisation in Swanland. It has been in existence since the mid-fifties. In 1977 the scheme was re-structured and, since then, a group of dedicated volunteers has provided a variety of supportive aid services for villagers.

Primarily we run a weekly Pop In at Christ Church Hall next to the pond. All are welcome for a coffee and, perhaps more importantly, a chat. This takes place each Wednesday from 10.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. Following this we serve lunch to some of our elderly residents. We also provide a service to any villager who may need help in, e.g. getting to hospital, doctors, opticians etc.

We are in desperate need of more volunteers not only to help with the above services but also to take over and run the Committee. Our present members have served the scheme for many years and would like to step down. If you feel that you could help in any way perhaps you would kindly get in touch with either Dorothy Warwick on 634 206 or Rita Fielden on 631 612

Friends of Swanland Village Hall
Your Village Hall belongs to everyone in Swanland so why not become a volunteer to help out with the many maintenance and cleaning tasks? We only ask for as much time as you can spare. Yvonne Dumsday is co-ordinating this scheme and is collecting names of "friends" Tel 634 863 Keith Carpenter, another Village Hall Trustee will organise the Working Parties.

Village Hall Treasurer
The Village Hall committee is looking for a new Honorary Treasurer to take over the reins from John White when he retires at the end of the year. The person needs to have a knowledge of simple book keeping, and additional skills would include preparation of accounts and budgets. Managing cash flow would be a bonus. Anyone who can help is urged to contact Godfrey Burley 634 691
